Machine Learning tools to enhance systems' resilience received an increased impetus driven by energy transition, climate change and digitalization, but critical challenges on system requirement definition reliability of learning processes need be addressed. This study proposes a systematic framework based engineering focused the process Hidden Markov Model (HMM) coupled with Baum-Welsh algorithm. The HMM hidden states may represent precursors accidental events, being between regular...
In this paper, a viability study is conducted for bioremediation intervention in cultivated area contaminated by pipeline oil spill. context, green technologies such as and phytoremediation could represent an optimal solution reducing pollution without deteriorating soil quality. The test was at the microcosm scale using three plant species (Zea mays, Lupinus albus Medicago sativa) mesocosm mays), also evaluating application of growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). results showed that selected...
Copper nanoparticles have been synthesized in ethylene glycol (EG) using copper sulphate as a precursor and vanadium sulfate an atypical reductant being active at room temperature. We described technique for relatively simple preparation of such reagent, which has electrolytically produced without standard procedures requiring inert atmosphere mercury cathode. Several stabilizing agents tested cationic capping discarded owing to the formation complex compounds with ions leading insoluble...
The performances of an innovative material based on graphene multilayers in a 3D structure similar to expanded graphite, Grafysorber® G+ (Directa Plus), have been tested via field applications real contaminated site. Several experimental tests were performed using inside adsorbent devices (booms and pillows) treat waters polluted by oil. campaign was carried out with the aim comparing those polypropylene (PP), which is used worldwide case water oil spill clean-up activities. results achieved...
The performance of an innovative material based on expanded graphite, Grafysorber® G+ (Directa Plus), has been tested through laboratory, tank, and confinement tests for oil removal in case spill water treatment. In addition to the ability retain oil, possibility reusing this after regeneration via squeezing was also evaluated. As a comparison, same experimental were conducted using polypropylene flakes (PP), currently most used deal with accidents. Oils different chemical physical...
Owing to their structure, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and allophane are nowadays considered as promising materials for application in different fields. The goal of this work is compare the efficacy ZnAl-SO4 LDH remove, by adsorption, some cationic anionic pollutants from industrial wastewater. Both compounds were synthesized via co-precipitation route (direct method) followed hydrothermal treatment, obtaining nanoscopic crystallites with a partially disordered turbostratic (ZnAl-SO4...
In the last decade, number of possible biological and biomedical applications suggested in literature for anodic porous alumina has increased significantly. Here we shortly review existing show most recent successful directions taken by research this area. particular, use as a substrate bioassays or biosensing living cells, mostly based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering, seems to be promising. Keywords: Bioassays, biosensors, drug-delivery, implants, porosity, surface coating.
